SEW IT ACADEMY FOR MEN NOW OPEN!
HELLO DARLINGS! We are so excited to finally announce the launch of SEW IT ACADEMY MEN’S EDITION. We have been quietly working on this for some time now and we are thrilled. The requests from men asking us to do a SEW IT MENS EDITION was incredible, so after months of going back and forth, we decided we couldn’t leave the fellas’ out because #dopemensew too.
The SEW IT MEN’S subscription works just like the women’s. It’s a totally separate monthly subscription designed for men where we will be making menswear only, BUT if you are a woman who wants to learn to sew for her hubby or sons you are welcomed to join.
If you are a current member of Sew It Women’s you get a special discount so make sure to check your email since we sent notices out today.
